Apparently the self-glossed “best shooter in the NBA” will not be needed in Milwaukee this season after being a part of the trade that brought Mo Williams to the Cavaliers. Yesterday, Milwaukee announced that they feel it best for all parties involved that Damon Jones and his $4.4 million expiring deal need not report to Bucks training camp.
“The Milwaukee Bucks and Damon Jones have mutually decided that he will not join the team. Damon will continue to work on his own in preparation to play in the NBA this season. Both parties will explore options for Damon to reach this goal.”
Poor poor Damon Jones. He just can’t seem to catch a break. So, now the real question is whether or not anyone will want Damon Jones to play for them this year? Can anyone else see a situation where he could catch on and play significant minutes? I guess Miami could probably use another guard, but would they take DJ and his act back in a Heat uniform? I think that is kind of doubtful.
Maybe Damon Jones will have to start filming demo tapes for potential TV gigs. You know with a mouth like that he is destined for some form of media in the future. Let’s just hope that LeBron’s good friend doesn’t end up back with the Cavs.

He belongs on the Clippers. It can really end no other way.
He could play in China. After all, he does endorse their sneakers!
I don’t care where he ends up, as long as it’s not a) Orlando or b) Bristol, Connecticut.
The money is guaranteed right? I wish my employer would pay my salary for a year while I sat at home.
yea especially 4.4 million of it!!!!
while the [alleged] guaranteed money is nice, most pro players play because they actually enjoy the game. DJ will most likely be in an NBA uniform at some point next season – his minutes are the question mark.

Damon was actually pretty good when he was on ESPN last year during the playoffs after the Cavs were eliminated. I wouldn’t mind seeing him replace Austin on as the Cavs’ color man. Fashion-wise, he could become the Craig Sager of color men.
Good picture for a caption. Too bad I can’t think of anything appropriate for WFNY.
